About Us

Southwood Shores is located in Henderson County, in the city of Payne Springs, and on the water of Cedar Creek Lake. We are a built on site community with Deed Restrictions and ByLaws in place. We have a lovely community including a park, pavilion, and a private boat ramp with a fishing pier. All new builds, additions, and changes to any current houses need to submit the correct forms and retain a permit from the City of Payne Springs before starting your project. Come and enjoy our amazing lake life neighborhood.
